My current e90 (335i with Dinan stage 2) will also likely be my last BMW. Not so much because of the Turbos, and the run flat tires, and not having a proper dip stick, and broken door actuators, and bad high-pressure-fuel-pumps, and.......it is partly the ongoing list of things that go wrong, partly that BMW seems to be more interested in the "snob" value than the driving dynamics.
